I got up in the middle of the night and saw a couple from my window to the East. Looked at the stars and then shooting stars appeared.

Very pretty shooting stars and very bright they go so quickly maybe half a second at the most and they're gone.

I wonder if there will be more tonight?

How many days is this?

Wow, thanks for your report. The best one I've seen was about a week ago. Even though they peak at August 12, many sporadic Perseids can be seen for 10 days or more on either side of the peak date. We'll probably have a few stragglers reported next weekend, too. Peace.

Thanks for this info! I might just have to lay out on the trampoline again tonight : )

I saw a nice one breaking up couple days ago twice into a fireball.I was out for a fag, I have telescope in the cellar and a nice zoom camera... but I mean, how the hell do you get pics of a 2 second long event?

I laid on my trampoline last night from 3:30am till 5:00am and saw lime 10 shooters. Nothing really impressive. I think I am going to give up on this meteor storm watching. But on a good note I didn't get bitten by any mesquites.
